Bank lending, foreclosures, health care
and economic development were just a few of the many topics discussed
during state Senator Dave Hansen’s (D-Green Bay) recent visit to The
Stephenson National Bank & Trust (SNB&T) in Marinette, Wis. Hansen
participated in the “Take Your Legislator to Work” program that helps
lawmakers learn more about the banking industry by visiting a local
bank. |

|
|
Sen. Hansen, who was
re-elected to the Senate last November, serves on the powerful Joint
Committee on Finance and serves as the Assistant Majority Leader in the
Senate. "I appreciated the time that the employees at SNB&T gave me. By
learning more about their jobs, it makes me better at mine," Hansen
said. |
|
|
|
During the visit,
Sen. Hansen learned how day-to-day operations work
at SNB&T and had a chance to share with bank
employees what has been happening at the State
Capitol. Hansen explained to the bankers his
priorities on economic development given the high
unemployment rates in the area and other legislation
his office is currently working on relating to
health care reform. |
|
|
|
Sen. Hansen and bank
staff also discussed banking issues such as taxes,
wage lien, foreclosures and the role that banks play
in maintaining a strong local economy. |

The legislator
concluded the bank visit by meeting with bank
employees and taking a turn at the teller window. |
